False statements to Congress! Is that even a crime? Then where are the charges against the Obama administration personnel who lied to Congress?

:: False statements to Congress ::

Isn’t that something Congress should investigate? Was it in the “expanded scope” provided by [RR]?

Has congress given up their authority to Mueller?

Yesterday Drudge drops a story that Trumps statements to Mueller were under oath. One statement was that he didn't know about the Trump Tower meeting with that Russian woman. The next day we hear Cohen is in a plea deal for lying to congress. Cohen told congress that he only learned about the meeting with the Russian woman after the fact.

My feeble mind ties these two drops together and interprets it to say that they have force Cohen to say he did know about the meeting prior to it happening. That now lets them probe if he told Trump, which is surely part of the plea deal for him to say "yes I told Trump too". Which means that this liar is accusing Trump of perjury.

Congress schmongress what about the President himself Lying to the American people day after day after day. That would be his Obamaness, not the real President in office today.

I believe that the specific details is “lying under oath”. Before one testifies before Congress, they are subjected to a swearing in which places them under oath and attaches the charge.
